Uniworld River Cruise - in their words
What is the Uniworld Difference?
When exploring Europe's greatest locales, it isn’t often that the ship one travels on rivals the destinations themselves. Yet this is more than true for Uniworld’s fleet of luxurious floating boutique hotels.
Every Uniworld ship is a work of art designed to be as unique and inspiring as the destinations it visits. Once aboard one of our award-winning ships, you will immediately notice the thoughtful touches, sublime artistry and quality amenities that set us apart. A simple walk from your sumptuous stateroom to breakfast will reveal original works by famous painters, master craftsmen and furniture designers commissioned exclusively for Uniworld ships.
Set sail on any of Uniworld’s one-of-a-kind ships and discover a beautiful world, both onboard and onshore.
The Difference is in the Details
There’s a moment on every Uniworld boutique river cruise when it becomes clear. Maybe it’s while luxuriating in the comfort in your exceptionally appointed stateroom or suite. Or savoring yet another culinary masterpiece prepared by our master chefs. Or while experiencing the jewels of Europe from a perspective only the river can provide. A moment when you realize that this journey is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced and beyond anything you could have expected.
